SUB-ZERO INTEGRATED USE & CARE
CLEANING
CONDENSER CLEANING
For all Integrated models, the condenser is
located behind the kickplate/grille. To clean the
condenser area, remove the screws holding
the kickplate/grille in place. The kickplate/grille
will slide forward easily, giving you access to
the conden ser area. Then using a soft bristle
brush, vacuum to remove dust and lint from
the condenser.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To ensure efficient
performance of your Integrated unit, your
condenser must be cleaned every three to six
months under normal use. If you have pets in
your home, it may be necessary to clean the
condenser area more often.
Condenser location
Before cleaning, shut off power to the
unit at the electronic control panel. When
cleaning the condenser, wear gloves to
avoid injury from the sharp condenser
fins.
Failure to clean the condenser could
result in temperature loss or mechanical
failure or damage.
SOUNDS
You may hear some noises in the normal
operation of the unit. Surrounding acoustics
like walls, floors and cabinets may affect the
sound of your unit. For example, a gurgling or
running water sound is probably refrigerant
circulating through the tubing.
During the ice maker cycle you may hear the
sound of ice dropping into the container or the
solenoid valve operating while refilling the ice
maker with water. During the freezer defrost
you may hear crackling and/or sizzling as the
heat from the defrost element clears the frost
from the freezer coil and water runs into the
water pan.
While the compressors are in operation, you
may hear a slight hum. During the start-up and
shutdown of the compressor, you may feel
vibration for a few seconds.
Some of these noises may be enhanced when
the unit's door and/or drawers are open.
